The Engineering Transfer curriculum offered at Mt. Hood Community College is designed to closely follow the pre-engineering program at Oregon State University, Portland State University and Oregon Institute of Technology and meet the requirements for an Associate of Science degree from MHCC. This program is intended, specifically, for civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering majors, however, it may be modified to meet the needs of students transferring into other disciplines of engineering and/or to other institutions. In all cases, the student must make application to both the transfer institution and the College or School of Engineering.

Curricular Outcomes

At the completion of this curriculum, the student should be able to:

• apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
• design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
• design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
• function on multi-disciplinary teams
• identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
• describe professional and ethical responsibility
• communicate effectively
• discuss the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
• engage in life-long learning
• discuss of contemporary issues
• demonstrate the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

The MHCC program has entry-level expectations of students for skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. Prior to fall term registration, it is highly recommended that you consult the MHCC engineering faculty adviser or The Academic Advising and Transfer Center (see below). You should also make early contact with an adviser at the institution to which you plan to transfer. It is especially important that you do so, because the requirements at each institution may vary by engineering field. In addition, you will need to keep abreast of any changes in the program of your choice. It is your responsibility as a student to learn the program requirements of the school that you plan to attend.

NOTE: This program is specifically designed for transfer to a four-year institution and is not intended for students who seek direct entry into the job market after completion of an associate degree. MHCC’s Engineering Technology program offers an AAS program intended for direct entry to the engineering technician job market.

1 Refer to Associate of Science degree requirements, page 11-12 of the printed catalog.

NOTE: The curriculum shown above consists of all of MHCC’s Engineering Transfer courses, and some of the other math and science courses available at MHCC that are required during the first two years of a typical pre-engineering curriculum. Not every course required by the various programs at different schools is offered at MHCC.

This information is meant to serve as a general guide for students intending to major in Engineering. Specific requirements for transfer will vary from school to school. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the university to which they plan to transfer to confirm specific admission requirements. The MHCC Engineering Transfer Adviser may be able to assist with this process.
